Marginalia Framer Template

About this template

Marginalia is a free magazine website template for Framer that helps independent publishers launch an issue-based magazine that reads like print and feels alive on screen. Every issue gets its own cover, colour and editor’s letter. Publish a new issue in the CMS and the whole site follows it.

Perfect for

Independent magazines and quarterlies moving from print to the web

Newsletter writers who want a real home for their archive

City guides, cultural venues and studios publishing seasonal editions

Student and community publications that need a site this term, not next year

What makes it different

A real magazine cover: the issue title in large editorial type beside its number in the issue colour, a colour-wipe cover reveal and a live local-time dateline.

Every back issue on show: past covers turn in a 3D ring; hover one and the page is washed in that issue’s colour.

Built for long reading: a sticky margin with an automatic “In this story” table of contents, margin notes and reading progress.

Paper / Ink switch: light and dark, remembered for every visitor.

What’s included

Linked CMS: 5 sample issues and 20 long-form stories with sections and contributors, so it looks finished on day one.

Everything a publication needs: site search, newsletter, subscribe and pitch forms.

Read me guide: a hidden page that walks you through every edit, no code needed.

Tested: desktop, tablet and phone in both themes; respects reduced motion.
